After his wedding to Chaya Mushka in 1928, Schneerson and his wife moved to [[Berlin]] in the [[Weimar Republic]] (now part of [[Germany]]), where he was assigned specific communal tasks by his father-in-law, who also requested that he write scholarly annotations to the ''[[History of responsa in Judaism|responsa]]'' and various Hasidic discourses of the earlier Rebbes of Chabad-Lubavitch. Schneerson studied mathematics, physics, and philosophy at the [[Humboldt University of Berlin|University of Berlin]].<ref name="Volume II 1938 PC">"The Early Years Volume II (1931–1938)" Jewish Educational Media, 2006 (UPC 74780 00058)</ref> He would later recall that he enjoyed [[Erwin Schrödinger]]'s lectures.<ref>Eli Rubin, [http://www.chabad.org/2619782 "Studies in Berlin: Science, Torah & Quantum Theory"]</ref> His father-in-law took great pride in his son-in-law's scholarly attainments and paid for all the tuition expenses and helped facilitate his studies throughout.<ref>{{Cite book |last1=Heilman |first1=Samuel |last2=Friedman |first2=Menachem |title=The Rebbe: The Life and Afterlife of Menachem Mendel Schneerson |publisher=Princeton University Press |year=2010 |pages=94, 106 |isbn=978-0-691-13888-6}}</ref>

During his stay in Berlin, his father-in-law encouraged him to become more of a public figure, but Schneerson described himself as an introvert,<ref name="chabad.org"/> and was known to have pleaded with acquaintances not to make a fuss over the fact that he was the son-in-law of Yosef Yitzchak.<ref>Joseph Telushkin, ''[[Rebbe: The Life and Teachings of Menachem M. Schneerson, the Most Influential Rabbi in Modern History]]''. HarperCollins, 2014. Page 465.</ref>

While in Berlin, Schneerson met [[Joseph B. Soloveitchik]] and the two formed a friendship that remained between them years later when they emigrated to America.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.uchicagohillel.org/news/blog.aspx?id=428514&blogid=13574 |title=Of God and Man: Some thoughts on the Rebbe |date=June 25, 2014 |publisher=JUF News |access-date=December 27, 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141018013842/http://www.uchicagohillel.org/news/blog.aspx?id=428514&blogid=13574 |archive-date=October 18, 2014 |url-status=dead }}</ref><ref name="Rebbe-Rav">
